* ''Died : [[1569]]''
*Japanese : 藤井皓玄 (Fujii Kogen)
==Geneology of Fujii Kogen==
[[Fujii Kogen]] was descended from [[Fujiwara Hidesato]].
==Location==
[[Fujii Kogen]] lived in Yoshii, it what is now the eastern edge of Hiroshima Prefecture.
==Siblings==
[[Fujii Kogen]] had four recorded siblings.
==Affiliation==
[[Fujii Kogen]] served the [[Amako Clan]], specifically the [[Yamana]] family.
He was second in command at Kannabe castle when the [[Yamana]] were the
castellians. Also, [[Fujii Kogen]] was castle lord over two of his own
castles. It should be noted that is brother, [[Fujii Taroemon/Tarozaemon]], was a general in the [[Mori]] navy, with his own castle on Shikoku.[[Fujii Taroemon/Tarozaemon]] fought at Osaka Bay against the [[Kuki]] navy.
==Brief Summary==
From 1532-1555, [[Fujii Kogen]] was a high ranking general in the [[Amako]] forces.
He controlled two of his own castles (正霊山城 and 高屋城) and served as second in command at [[Kannabe castle]] (神辺城), under the [[Yamana]]. When the [[Amako]] were crushed by the [[Mori]], [[Fujii Kogen]] was forced out of military action, along with many of the other [[Amako]] retainers who became ronin. However, he later played a major role in [[Amako Katsuhisa]]'s uprising, even though his contribution is all but forgotten by most. His role was to take back Kannabe castle. Kannabe castle had been a major point of conflict between the [[Amako]] and [[Mori]]. It was strategically vital and whoever controlled it would control the Fukuyama area. [[Fujii Kogen]], with a small number of soliders and a large number of rioting peasants, took Kannabe castle back from the [[Mori]] in [[1569]]. However, the [[Mori]] backup forces were too strong and the castle fell back into [[Mori]] hands. In the fighting at the castle and afterwards, [[Fujii Kogen]] and three of his sons died.
==After His Death==
After his death, his surviving children were taken in by other family members.
Specifically, his last surviving son,Yoshitsune, was taken in by the [[Mimura]], who later gave him to the [[Kosaka]]. However, the [[Mimura]] continued to watch over the child. This child would later grow to manhood and have his own children, one of them a daughter. This daugther would later have a child with [[Mizuno Katsushige]] named [[Mizuno Katsutoshi]], the second generation daimyo of Fukuyama. The descendents of [[Fujii Kogen]] and his siblings mostly live in Hiroshima prefecture these days.
